Quote:1. Do you think religion serves a purpose, if so what is this purpose?Well it covers your eyes from the big scary world. Blissful but unhealthy.
It convinces you that you are the purpose of the universe. Quite delusional...
Quote:2. Do you think that religion lets poorer people down?Let's everyone down. Promising another life after this one, just like a crafty scam. Where you have to commit and believe faithfully with donation and to indoctrinate your kids so they continue with the scam where you left off before receiving this other life in the clouds once you are....long fucking dead!
Quote:3. Do you think religion will ever 'die out'?No, but with education and the advancement of human society I reckon it will weaken, and to a point where it's barely heard.
Quote:4. Do you think it matters whether a particular religion is true or not and is it irrelevant as long as what you believe makes you happy?No, it doesn't matter. If one religion is right, many other believers still end up in hell. Like say, if Christianity was right, atheists, Muslims, ect would end up in hell. But if Islam was right.....
You get the picture.
It would actually be better if no religion was right. Also just because something makes you happy doesn't mean it's true or right in anyway.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
